Ryan Moore previews Matrika in the Nell Gwyn Stakes and his five other rides at Newmarket, including his first time on Kalpana

Ryan Moore is in action with six rides at Newmarket on Wednesday afternoon.

He will join the likes of Gasper De Lemos, Regal Reality and Matrika in an action-packed day against plenty of tough competition.

Here, Betfair Ambassador Moore previews his rides ahead of Wednesday’s race, which is rounded out by Kalpana at 5:20 p.m.

14:25 Newmarket

Gasper De Lemos

We had four in here on the five-day stage and we trust Gasper De Lemos. After a promising debut, this Justify colt won his maiden in very good style at the Curragh before finishing second to what looked to be a smart horse in the Arabian Crown at Zetland here.

We’re happy he’s coming into this race but he’ll be adapted further down the line and I’m always wary of an Andre Fabre horse and his Narkez won very well on his return. And there are clearly others with claims as well.

15:00 Newmarket

Regal Reality

He’s had some good runs in the past when fit and hopefully the ground will stay decent for him, although he’s also in winning form with a bit of digging. At 9, he has to give a few years to all his rivals and would be vulnerable to an improver like Royal Rhyme, but he has had some very good runs at this course, including a narrow second in the Joel Stakes here in September. He is among the form horses here in that race.

Register

Dance Sequence has looked pretty good to win in both of her starts, including the Oh So Sharp Stakes, but I don’t think my filly is far behind her, if at all. Her only defeat came at Albany at Royal Ascot when second to subsequent Cheveley Park winner and Breeders’ Cup runner-up Porta Fortuna and she did well for me in a Group 2 at the Curragh subsequently.

We didn’t see her after that win in July but the fact she is here speaks for itself, Aidan has his horses in very good nick and although she has plenty of speed I would have thought she would get it extra long. here okay. But there are a few promising horses in this and this is certainly not an even match between us and the Godolphin horse, for all Dance Sequence is the hot favorite in here I see.

16:10 Newmarket

Amestris

I don’t know much about her at the moment to be honest – I think we’re all in the dark, given the nature of the race – but the fact that I’ve been booked for Mehma’s filly is hopefully positive.

16:45 Newmarket

Bolsena

Her debut effort looks to be top form and she didn’t run badly on her return to Newcastle last month. The benefit of a recent run is an obvious positive. A repeat of that opening run at Haydock last September gives her, as I said, a decent form claim, although of course this is another race full of unknowns.

17:20 Newmarket

Kalpana

It’s the first time I’ve ridden this Juddmonte filly but she’s certainly made a decent start to her career, winning on her debut at Wolverhampton and then finishing second under a penalty to what could be a smart enough winner at Newcastle last time. An opening mark of 78 looks okay, and maybe steps up to 1m2f will also do.
